Note to Majors in the Program: Please make sure that you have declared your major (see David Muschell).  If you are unsure—see the advisors list on the bulletin board.

 

Students who wish to major in English with a concentration in creative writing study literature as both readers and makers of poetry, fiction, drama, literary nonfiction, and poetry translation.  Outside the classroom, students edit The Peacock’s Feet, participate in public readings, and attend special workshops with visiting writers.

 

English/creative writing majors take two multiple genre courses (Intro to Creative Writing, Intermediate Creative Writing) before taking two advanced workshops in single genres (poetry, fiction, scriptwriting, creative nonfiction, or poetry translation).  Students conclude with the Creative Writing Seminar, in conjunction with their senior capstone project.  In addition to creative writing courses, students take Shakespeare, introductory courses in American and British literature, Writing about Literature, and a modern foreign language, as well as four advanced courses in literature, criticism, and linguistics.
